FAQ
Protection Questions
Common questions about safeguarding your financial future.
What exactly is financial protection?
Financial protection is a catch-all term for insurance policies that provide a safety net for you and your family. This includes Life Insurance (paying a lump sum on death), Serious Illness Cover (paying out on diagnosis of a specified illness), and Income Protection (replacing a portion of your salary if you cannot work due to illness or injury).
Do I really need life insurance if I don't have children?
While children are a primary reason for life insurance, it's also vital for covering mortgages (Mortgage Protection), protecting a partner who relies on your income, or ensuring that funeral expenses and any outstanding debts are settled without placing a burden on your loved ones.
What is the difference between Life Insurance and Serious Illness Cover?
Life Insurance pays out a lump sum to your estate or beneficiaries when you pass away. Serious Illness Cover pays out a tax-free lump sum to YOU while you are still alive, upon the diagnosis of a specified serious illness (like cancer, heart attack, or stroke), helping you cover treatment costs or lifestyle changes during recovery.
How much life insurance cover do I need?
The 'right' amount depends on your specific circumstances: your mortgage balance, your income, the number of dependents you have, and your future financial goals (like education costs). We perform a 'Financial Needs Analysis' to calculate a precise figure that ensures your family is fully protected without you overpaying for unnecessary cover.
What is Income Protection and how does it work?
Income Protection provides you with a regular monthly payment if you are unable to work due to ANY illness, injury, or disability. It typically covers up to 75% of your salary (minus social welfare) and continues to pay out until you return to work or reach your chosen retirement age.
Is financial protection expensive?
Protection is often more affordable than people think, especially if started when you are younger and healthier. Policies can be tailored to fit your budget, and even a small amount of cover is significantly better than having no protection at all. Additionally, Income Protection premiums qualify for tax relief at your highest rate.
Can I change my protection plan later?
Yes. Your protection needs will evolve as you go through different life stages—getting married, buying a home, or having children. We recommend a review of your cover every 2-3 years to ensure it still matches your current reality and provides the best value available on the market.
